Each October UN-Habitat and organizations around the world focus on the theme of urban sustainability. Urban October begins with World Habitat Day on 1 October and ends with World Cities Day on 31 October. This year Archnet joins in the effort by bringing attention to materials relating to urban development and efforts to “make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable” throughout the history of Muslim societies. Follow us on social media and look for the hashtag #UrbanOctober.
